Greetings,
When creating a linked clone pool, when I get to the point of choosing the master image-Parent image, I then choose the snapshot. The snapshot does not appear unless I check "All Images", then it appears. Even when it appears, I cannot select it. It never highlights to allow me to click the "OK" button. Does anyone have any thoughts on why this is? Thank you.
I manage about 7 different Horizon View environments for customers, some on prem, and some in our hosted environment. I have had no problems (lately) with any of them, and some of them exist on this same Vsphere environment, and one other is on the same Horizon View release. The only discernible difference is I believe the environment not having issues is on hardware version 7, and the problem environment is 11. The issues are happening across all servers in the cluster, and the cluster includes other working View environments, using the same storage array in some circumstances.
So, the issue is that these Win 7 64 desktops are crashing or rebooting, and I can't figure out from the log exactly which. I don't see "WinBSOD" in the log. The users report the issue after stepping away for a few minutes, and they come back to a black screen, move their mouse to try and wake it, and usually lose connection. It looks like maybe there is a video issue, but I can't really figure out what or why. They all have 35mb of video memory, and most users are running 1920x1080 or lower on a single monitor, so this should be more than enough.
Attached is a log from one of the machines having the issue. Anyone have any insight? able to point me in the right direction? I usually figure this stuff out on my own, but this one has me pretty stumped.
Thanks
Hi,
I have implemented HTML access for VMware Horizon View. I runned remote experience agent and installed HTML access component only and web access of VDIs are working fine.
I have to now try flash url redirection.
I installed this component too by running again .exe of remote experience agent. I am following document : http://www.vmware.com/pdf/horizon-view/horizon-view-52-feature-pack-document.pdf which says to verify feature is installed by checking if ViewMPServer.exe process is running on desktop by taking a PCoIP session of virtual machine at page number 29 of this pdf.
But i am not able to locate this process. checked in task manager too. Can anybody suggest me how I can check if this process is runnning?
Guys and gals, I am a bit perplexed at the issue we are dealing with so i wanted to go to the experts. We are running HView 5.3.3 coupled with vcenter 6.0 (as an appliance). I have all of the nessecary keystore files created and the locked.properties file setup right in order to make smart card (sc) authentication work, but just can't seem to find out where the issue lies. Currently when you go to the URL to view server, it will prompt you for your sc certificate, i can pick the certificate and then it will take me to the usual logon screen with user name and password. I am also experiencing similar behavior when trying to connect to the virtual machines in a view pool via cad card using a PCOIP client. Here is where the oddity is though, sc authentication is working for parts of view. I can log into the pcoip client with an sc and get taken to the pool selection screen, but when i pick the pool the client isn't passing the sc credentials to the vm and i am then being prompted for a user and password. I can, however, use the view client on a physical box and connect to a vm using an sc and it works as expected.
It seems as though there is some missing link somewhere that i haven't yet found. The only oddity i can find in the debug log for view is this:
2015-12-03T07:45:44.059-06:00 DEBUG (0E04-1A9C) <MessageFrameWorkDispatch> [MessageFrameWork] ValidateCertificateChain ok=1, msecs=0

IN this cans 10.0.210.171 is our vcenter IP.
I am using the exact keystore on a separate view instance on the same network and it is working as expected, so i am just not sure where to start looking.
Hello:
Are there some guidelines or best practices for capturing Chrome and Firefox? The reason I am asking is that we are having a bunch of issues with each. In more detail:
Chrome: We thinapped the latest version of Chrome, without any additional plugins, with and without the --no-sandbox option per the KB article here:
VMware KB: Google Chrome fails when capturing Google Chrome with VMware ThinApp
This one worked fine for several days then all of a sudden it stopped one day. It crashes, then upon re-launching it will consume 100% cpu and its window never opens even though the process is running. If I clear the Thinapp sandbox folder for Chrome, it will open up fine for the first time, but when opening a second time the same issue comes back.
Firefox: We thinapped the latest version of Firefox, along with the latest Java 1.8.x, latest Flash, and VMware client integration plugin. It worked fine for about a week then all of a sudden one day it no longer launches (and we haven't changed anything) with the error: Fatal Application Exit, Unable to Open.
I've been looking around and the information is fragmented. I've seen posts with similar issues in the past but supposedly they were resolved with later versions of the Thinapp setup capture program which we are using the very latest and greatest version (5.1.1). Any help would be appreciated, if there have been known working solutions or combinations of versions that work.
Thanks
If a users profile is created on the network share using PM, it cannot be viewed by admins.
If it is created by normal windows roaming profile then admins can view (modify/delete) no problem.
It seems that:
- PM creates subfolders with no inheritance (the admins group is not propegated).
- Roaming profile creates subfolders with full inheritance.
But why? Is this a fault? Should PM create the folders in the same way that roaming profile does?
We want admins to be able to clean/modify PM created folders, but they cannot - the problem ONLY happens when using PM.
Notes:
i.e:
I am running Horizon View Client 3.5.2 for mac on El Capitan. I can't use PCoIP because I just get a black screen. But RDP can only use version 2 and I can't change the resolution. I want to know when RDP version 8 for mac will be supported.
The version of PowerCLI on the view connection servers only have view related cmdlets, Is there a reason a full version of PowerCLI is not installed by default? I've looked around and have not been able to find anything on this... could we install the latest PoweCLI 6 Release 2 on our connection servers and it not effect the current view snappin?
Hello
I have 2 sites with external storage in replication ( only primary volume in RW )
I would like to create a cluster VMware Horizon View ( + VDI ) over the 2 sites and in a standard mode that each host ESX work on the local storage ( primary storage )
That means each time a VM desktop needed it will be created on DS local even if ESX can access on the 2nd site
Could it implement this design ?
Thank you for your help
my user connected one vdi machine and it copy word,excel on the desktop . another day my user connected another vdi machine but he didnt find his files.
now i want to learn that my user connecting every day different vdi machine and how to config that when he connect vdi machine he wont lost his files ?
what is good plan or config ?
Is there any way to get a report on how many users have logged into a pool over the last year?
I'm in a position where I am starting off fresh with a new View deployment. New hardware, newest version, etc. Should I have a separate Virtual Center server dedicated to View? We have a dedicated one for our old v5 environment and I found it cumbersome to manage a separate VC. What would be the benefits of having a dedicated VC?
Hello,
after updating my test view Windows 7 environment to view 6.2 I noticed that net beans was crashing after some seconds or minutes of use.
stacktrace starting with awt.dll and then going in thru the VMware 3D video driver.
I tried to downgrade the agent to 6.1.1 but I couldn't even connect to a desktop. The only other thing I changed was the version of the java sdk, going from 8u51 to 8u60. Now I'm using agent 6.2 with java 8u51 whitout issues. I'm the only one with those issues?

Hi, we have a View 6.2 deployment with GRID K1 cards in our Dell R720 hosts. Previously using vSGA, however we want to test the new vGPU technology. Have split one host off into it's own cluster and trying to get the vGPU vib installed instead of the vSGA. Following the vGPU deployment guide PDF, and it says to run vmkload_mod -u nvidia, however when I do this, I get the message in the title of this post "vmkload_mod: Can not remove module nvidia: module symbols in use".
If I try to run excli software vib remove,
esxcli software vib remove -n "NVIDIA-VMware_ESXi_6.0_Host_Driver"
it fails with the following:
[InstallationError]
Error in running rm /tardisks/NVIDIA_V.v00:
Return code: 1
Output: rm: can't remove '/tardisks/NVIDIA_V.v00': Device or resource busy
It is not safe to continue. Please reboot the host immediately to discard the unfinished update.
So, can anyone advise how to get the vmkload command to work to remove the nvidia module so I can uninstall the host driver and install the vgpu driver?
Hi All,
I am looking to customize my Horizon Portal (6.x) with my company logo and other visual objects. I have read the document that points to how to change the download links and such, but nothing about changing the look of it.
Additionally, when I am prompted for uname and password, the domain that is presented is not the preferred domain, how can I change this so all my users get the preferred domain?
Thanks for any help provided.

Hi there,
I'm having problems powering up a VM that is configured with hardware 3D rendering. It throws an error "Hardware GPU is required but not available. The virtual machine will not start until GPU resources are available or the virtual machine is configured to allow software rendering". I've upped the VM hardware version from 9 to 11 just to see if it made any difference.
I've looked around and various folks have had different issues but the good people here ask for the same info so hopefully providing it below will help.

Does anyone know if it is possible to create multiple persona management profile repositories? Currently we have about 4000 profiles in our repository, but the deployment guide recommends not passing 1000 profiles per file server.
Has anyone managed to get persona management working with multiple file servers, and if so, are there any decent instructions out there? My search has not yielded any results yet, but it is possible that I am searching for the wrong keywords.
We did a SAN controller upgrade over the weekend. We had no issues there at all, but after the upgrade was done we saw view admin showing the vCenter Server service as "red". Restarting vCenter Server Service on the server resolved the issue and it went "green" about 5 minutes after the service was restarted. I came in this morning and the "red" status had returned, restarting the service brought it back to "green".
Is there an easy/good/best way to troubleshoot this? View Admin is completely useless for troubleshooting any "red" service issues. I've gone through logs, event viewer, bundles, etc and don't see anything that would tell me why View Admin thinks there is an issue. I can provision VM's, delete them, recompose, etc without issue. as far as I can tell vCenter is fine and it's making me wonder if its View Admin having the issue and not vCenter. What do you guys normally do to troubleshoot "red" statuses?
Hi everyone,
I had an interesting question come up today: is there any way to restrict access to View by physical endpoint? This customer does not want to support BYOD in any way, and have instead provided HP thin laptops for their users to access View from while at home, through a security gateway. I know you can disable the View web interface entirely, but they are looking to block connections from anything other than those thin laptops. Thanks!
Hi all;
I got a use case where the end user is using a zero client on a remote office connecting through the internet (no vpn) via security server 6.2. Is location based printing usable in that scenario where the user can use the branch office printers (on the same network than the zero client).
My issue is that the end user VM have no connectivity to the branch office printer and in my lab the only way to do that was allowing ip connectivity between the desktop VM and the remote printer.
It's like a Desktop as a service solution. How printing redirection is handled in that scenario.
Regards
